Potting On

We`ve had Perry home for a week now and he has settled in so well. He doesn`t make a murmur when its time for bed. We can leave him alone for a few hours now without worrying that he`ll pine. When we are out walking he sits at the kerb without being asked, a week ago he didn`t even know how to sit at all. He makes us laugh all the time at his antics. For instance, he has taken to carrying around an old glove of Jim`s, he doesn`t chew it but just takes it everywhere, he looks so funny. This evening I took some towels out of the tumble drier and he stuck his head inside to see what was there. We haven`t laughed so much for ages. I`m so happy he`s our dog.

I`ve been so busy at work the last couple of days especially yesterday when it was all go from the moment I got there until the moment I got home…AND I stayed an hour later too…then I had to walk Perry and it was nearly 4pm before I had my lunch. My goodness I was exhausted and very grateful it was Friday! I have to say though that I like to be busy, I`m not one for taking things easy if I can help it.

I`ve been itching to tidy and weed the borders and would have done a bit today but for the rain…sigh. I made up for it by spending time in the greenhouse potting on some of my baby plants. I still have lots more to do but they can wait until tomorrow. My daffodils have opened at long last so I took some photos. I hope you like them.

The Dutch irises are all coming up at once. I have no idea where I can plant so many but I`m sure I`ll think of something.

I love the unusual leaves of the Oxalis, they remind me of clover.

The fragrant lillies have come through.

The rhubarb is an early variety so I will look forward to a nice, tasty crumble…mmm!

Great to hear the good news of how well Perry has settled...
I can imagine Perry carrying the special glove... and if he did happen to lose it, I guess you have the other glove of the pair ? Lol.
Wishing you many many happy years with lovely Perry. xxx

Lovely to hear about Perry.....he has strong retriever instincts....you could teach him to find and retrieve things for you, my lab used to go upstairs and get my slippers if I came down without them! Great fun for the dog and easier for me!!

It doesn't take much to make a dog happy and a dog is all that's needed to make us happy. I'm so glad for you Labd. He's a bit of a character. Tomorrow the weather should be much better for most of us (two and four legged) so I hope you get on top of things. I like your daffs.
